Known for its exceptional driver experience, it’s a Kiwi favorite that many households cherish,” said Honda New Zealand’s Managing Director, Mr. Nobuya Sonoda. “We are excited for our loyal fans to experience this premium redesign that offers exhilarating drives” .
e:HEV Hybrid Technology for a Sustainable Future – At the heart of the new Civic is Honda’s unique two-motor e:HEV hybrid system, delivering a seamless blend of environmental performance and driving pleasure.

With four driving modes—ECON, NORMAL, SPORT, and INDIVIDUAL, drivers can tailor the car’s performance to suit their preferences, whether cruising daily or enjoying an exhilarating driving experience.
Seamless Technology and Premium Comfort – Inside, the Civic is a sanctuary of refinement and innovation, featuring leather-appointed finishes, a panoramic sunroof, and a wider windscreen for improved visibility. The infotainment system includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a custom-engineered Bose sound system—all accessible through a 9” touchscreen for distraction-free connectivity on the go.
